Famous For Wine Making And Olive Oil

Mollina is just 15km north-west of Antequera on the A92, on the lower slopes of the Sierra de Mollina. The village is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. It is also a mere ten km from the Laguna de Fuente de la Piedra lake, famous for its pink flamingos.

Mollina dates mainly from a more peaceful time, the 16th century, when the Reconquest was won and the lands were divided out for farming to the locals. At its agricultural peak, Mollina’s olive groves were so productive that the parish church of San Cayetano, built in 1687, was changed to Nuestra Señora de la Oliva.
